Pelosi: Drilling in protected areas ‘a hoax’ By Jared Allen Posted: 07/10/08 01:28 PM [ET] House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) on Thursday shut the door on expanding oil and gas drilling beyond areas that have already been approved for energy exploration, drawing a clear distinction from her counterparts in charge of the Senate.

“This call for drilling in areas that are protected is a hoax, it’s an absolute hoax on the part of the Republicans and this administration” Pelosi said at her weekly press conference. “It’s a decoy to punt your attention away from the fact that their policies have produced $4-a-gallon gasoline.”

The dementia of this rock brain toad is absolutely astounding..............

Especially after the fact she is speaker for a group with a 9% approval rating. It matters not what the majority wants, she plows on ahead in her liberal stupidity!....God! I hate this skank!

[Wil H]

Hey Mrs 9%, you ignorant cow - you have been in power for 18 months and came in with a promise to lower gas prices.

And this is the Republicans’ fault??

[WildcatClan]

Yes, my link at 35 is proof. Why are Republicans not blasting this from the rooftops?

[Blood of Tyrants]

To the “wind and solar” mantra, I ask this, Where do we get our energy when the sun isn’t shining and the wind isn’t blowing?

[Blood of Tyrants]

?

[andy58-in-nh]

Yep. That’s about the size of it.

[rottndog]

If the spineless weenies in the House were serious,...

Of course, you must be talking about the Republicans.

[bk1000]

What a cow. Gas was at or below $2.00/gal when the Dims took over. She is a lying sack of ....well, I don’t need to say it, do I?

[Eagle of Liberty]

TORCH AND PITCHFORK TIME, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN!

[Eagle of Liberty]

“It’s a decoy to punt your attention away from the fact that their policies have produced $4-a-gallon gasoline.”

WHOSE POLICIES?

[ctdonath2]

Ironically, “wind & solar” is the hoax as they call for it, then stop all development thereof (2-year review of environmental impact of solar “farm” in Texas, Uncle Teddy’s kabosh on offshore wind turbines, ...).

[WildcatClan]

I think the National Average was 2.33 when she stated gas was too high and her and her comrades would change that. Well, they changed it and this is the kind of change we can expect from Barack Hussein.

“4) Resign

Thank you!”

You forgot “and have a nice day”.

[B Knotts]

This idiot just caused oil prices to jump by five dollars in a matter of minutes.

[gimme1ibertee]

1) Allow oil shale technology to be produced and implemented
2) Build more nuclear plants
3) Tap into the huge reserves of coal and natural gas
4) Resign

Sounds like a plan!

2.00 a gal when the dems took over congress, now over 4.00 a gal. yep the repubs fault. people we are in big trouble.

[gathersnomoss]

Republican candidates are brainless, or leaning socialist...period! That must be why the God Awful Party wonders why they are doing so poorly.

If the GOP was a football team, they would get their asses kicked by the fans in the tunnel after yet another pathetic, piss poor loss.

The GOP stinks up the place. Where is my fan bag for my face?

[ATOMIC_PUNK]

No lady whats a Hoax is that Parts of Alaska should be deemed Pristine and that we should be held captive to an ideology of global warming that has never been proved physically or scientifically to be a real threat !

[JewishRighter]

Hope this works. It's chart from the US Dept of Energy and it really tells the story: Since the Dems took over Congress in Jan 07, price has gone up $2.00/gal or nearly 100%. Hoax? Pelosi's face is a hoax, but the fact that we need to increase the supply is as real as her 9% approval rating.

[Red Badger]

Yep! Brent Crude up $5.51!................
